View APOD History / Fix video URL's / Remove History Permission

• Removed 'History' permissions.

• APOD Viewing History available! Use the left and right arrow keys to view the previously loaded APOD's in any given session.

• New Cube loader! I was a little tired of the sun and moon loaders and now you have a cube that will update it's faces with any previously viewed APOD's!

• Fixed issue of broken video URL's

• Various clean up of code

Background Images & GA working again

• Pictures will now have a background image if they are too small to be full screen. This is to avoid too much empty black screen. Very small images will continue to have a black screen for now as this feature gets some use.

• Delete button is available for removing any top site links that appear that you may not want.

• The 'History' permission has been added to this release, this is only being used for the ability to delete a Top Site link.

• Added the 'Next' & 'Previous' buttons back in.

• Date picker has been removed for now, it'll be back soon!

• High definition images only option added! If you only want to see HD images then this is for you. When this option is turned off an HD image will be requested, but if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load the standard definition image will be loaded instead.

• If a standard definition image gets loaded you will now have a button available to force the HD image to load.

• Google analytics wasn't working for a little while. That's back up.

Firefox Add-on now supported

Now available for Firefox v54+

• A few other cosmetic things, but nothing crazy.

Add image filetype check

An HD URL was an Mp4 (date 11/13/2017) which caused an error in loading. Added a check for filetype extension which tries the standard def URL if the check fails.

APOD with Webpack & Babel

This is mainly an under the hood update. Rehauled the plug-in to use Webpack 3 and various other modern goodies to minify and build the extension.

Also the Know More tabs have icons to describe topic it's naming.

Scripts to subdirectories, keyup button events, spacecraft dictionary

• Cleaned up JS files and put them in subdirectories

• Change keydown button presses to keyup to avoid repeat presses

• Started a satellite and spacecraft category in Celestial Dictionary.

Copy cleanup, add force HD button

• Cleaned up some text that didn't make sense with the new button locations.

• If the standard definition image loads you can now force load the High Definition photo by clicking on the SD shown in top right.

Date Picker Introduced

APOD by The Trav (v1.6)

The interface has been updated slightly, the changes include:

• Moved the navigation buttons from bottom right to top right, just under the title of the APOD.

• Yellow text color when viewing Today's and an existing Favorited APOD.

• Highlighted keywords in the Explanation tab are now clickable and will open the keyword tab and load the content.

Date Picker Feature

This is a feature to choose a specific day to view. In a way it is a compliment to the Today and Random buttons, so a user can revisit a specific day if they so wish.

The date picker design is based on a pinwheel idea that I thought up on a whim. I added an option to turn on/off of the date picker since the design of it, I feel, is a slight departure from the rest of the App. It also can seem to clutter up the interface a little.

The functionality of the Date Picker is based on mouse wheel scrolling events only.
